초록
The benefits of traditional techniques like cold dissection, hot methods, and suturing for reducing post-tonsillectomy complications such as swelling, pain, and bleeding have been established, however, the postoperative advantages of consuming cold drinks remain underappreciated. This case study aims to highlight the beneficial effects of cold-water consumption in post-tonsillectomy care. An 11-year-old girl suffering from mild rhinitis and severe chronic mouth breathing underwent tonsillectomy. Her postoperative care regimen involved standard instructions coupled with daily intake of cold beverages. This approach resulted in the complete healing of the intraoral wound, without necessitating additional painkillers. Histopathological evaluation revealed right tonsillar hyperplasia laden with bacterial colonies and hyperplasia in the left tonsil. The consumption of cold beverages or ice cream post-tonsillectomy is a promising alternative for postoperative care in pediatric patients. It prompts an organized spontaneous healing process at the wound site and helps pain management.
